Allow importing expenses from a CSV file

I am currently switching from a competitor service and I really don't want to reenter all my sharing history with my friends. A csv import would be great.
Also, this would be quite useful when I go on holidays: I can create a csv file offline on my phone and import it into Splitwise when I get home.

We don’t currently have plans to create a CSV importer, as there’s no standard CSV format for split expenses (and creating one would be rather messy). Importing from a spreadsheet would definitely be a good feature, but not many people have asked for the ability to import, and as a small team we’ve had to prioritize other features for now. So sorry!

If you’re switching from another service, your best bet is to simply transfer over your total balances, rather than your complete expense history. First add the people you have balances with, then add an IOU with each person for your current balance (e.g. “I owe Anna $36 for past expenses”, “Fred owes me $82 for past expenses”, etc.)

    Would really like this feature! Seems pretty straight forward.

  • Kelly Fisher commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is this still not doable? Looking for a way to import hundreds of shared expenses and looking for a software to do it. Will keep looking elsewhere.

    How are we still waiting for this basic feature?! This is so basic.

    Really crucial to begin to use Splitwise

    This would be great since my partner and I update our splitwise every month or so and this would make it FAR easier to do that

    +1. Please enable this feature

  • Riza F Khan commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not sure why I even pay for premium at this point. Every feature I look for on Splitwise has the same garbage response, "nobody has asked for that, we're a small team... we had to prioritise".

    Cool.

    Please add CSV import feature, especially CSV import for adding itemized expense

  • Richa Sharma commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there any update as of now about adding some form of import data feature in form of CSV or Excel sheet?

    +1. Please enable this feature

    Please prioritise this one guys, i want to leave splitwise due to lack of this one :(

    I'd pay 10$ a month if you added this feature. At least allow importing name, amount, date into a view of one person or group and associate just with that person/group. If you predetermine the date format, this shouldn't take over a week for a junior engineer to implement.

    Indeed, this 'import' feature is a deal breaker in my case. Too bad :-(
    I will stick to a Spreadsheet shared in the cloud.

    WE NEED IMPORT ABILITIES! ITS LITERALLY THE MOST BASIC AND USEFUL FEATURE YOU SHOULD HAVE!
